that suit was brought against his bonds

is the loss Of cattle, ana this was 30

Remarkable indeed are some of the in-

made of ppers : lat III combination with

idea, but what was at the Same a specific
IN the DOCTORS ideas for dropsy and
jaunaice is simply horrifying. Thus. il
runs: Live insects from hogs (I). water
and brandy mixed"
Insects, however, play o leading part
in our ancestors list OF drugs. But here,
we may remark, as an analogy between
new and old theories, that some
years back the discovery was
stated, We believe by q Paris
physician, of ~cockroaches psoduc-
ing a tincture for kidney disease. So
after all, the modern tunes Can only
show some notions akin to the past ones
Horrible utterly was the older idea OF
tie human brain made into O bolus, aaG

notion OF the dead hand of an executed

carrots were frequently prescribed.
Fried mice for whooping cough
formed very popular treatment, and il
some districts are 30 still, as Va personal
ly have been informed By those giving
them to their children. Various por

Business in anthracite coal is supposed
to be checked for the present, says the
Philadelphia correspondent of the
American Record. The reason given is
that an attempt has been made TO ad-
vance prices in the east, and eastern som
sumers do not believe than an advance
can be maintained. The producers are
inclined to try and see what q bold
course will do for them. They are not
satisfied with the margins they are re-.
ceiying. The demand is not at its
best. Buyers, big and little, are in
clined to hold of and Eee. They will
sec what they always see, viz, q late
rush Tor coal at stiff prices. Theregione
had q very good week, and q continuous
heavy demand in probable. The rail-
road ana manufacturing requirements
are very heavy. 80 far this year 20,
100000 tons Of coal havn been sold. All
OF the companies are preparing to in
GREASE their output. The Pennsylvania
railroad has spent q good deal OF money
to reach more territory, and the Reading
has not been slow in Its we'll conceived
{ forts to place its coal business on q
better footing.
The advance recently declared in prices
is not being observed in ell quarters
There ID o scarcity Of coal cars. caused
in part by the demand of cars in the coke
region. The Pennsylvania railroad

mp only 11S,000 tons up to June 80 owe,

duotion Of all coal companies was $751;
902 tons. Total anthracite for year

Ions. The Pennsylvania railroad. carri-
ed for the week, 273, 1893 tons of coal and
